| I had the Toys 'R Us exclusive Cyclops (in a 2-pack with Dark Phoenix) until events in 2020 wiped out most of my ML collection. Aftermarket prices for that figure are usually $70 and up, so buying a replacment was never an option. This project was my introduction into learning which standard Marvel Legends male sculpt pieces (especially the legs) could and couldn't be mixed and matched, but a lucky eBay custom fodder find with one Cyke head and some Forge parts gave me final parts I needed to really do this. The figure isn't really 100%, but it's good enough to be a stand-in for now. I won't be trying to darken the yellow shorts because I'm holding out hope that I can still get and swap some plain yellow boots and glove cuffs in there later. Paints used: Tamiya: White Primer, Blue, Red, and Yellow. Testors Model Masters (flat black) |
